If I could only flyI'd go up and look down from the skySo I could see the bigger pictureAnd Lord if I could sit with You

At Your feet for an hour or twoI'm sure I'd ask too many questions'Cause there's so much going on down hereThat I must confess I just don't understand

[Bridge]But I have prayedAnd at your feet my whole life has been laidSo I won't worry I won't be afraid'Cause my soul is resting on Your higher waysLet the road ahead become unclear I am Yours so what have I to fearIf my soul is resting on Your higher ways

[Chorus]Your higher ways teach me to trust YouYour higher ways are not like mineYour higher ways are the ways of the FatherHiding His children in His love

[Bridge]

So let it rainAnd if my eyes grow dim with tears of painThis hope I have will not be washed away'Cause my soul is resting on Your higher ways

Maybe then You will take me aside And show me the bigger pictureBut until I'm with You I'll be here with a heart that is trueAnd a soul that's resting onYour higher ways
